if you have problem with Somaliland, coming to Snet saying cantabaash wont help , to be frank with you, there is nothing you could do about it, kolkaa I suggest you go to your mom`s basement and start crying, because crying releases emotions that are harmful but if you keep them , they built up inside otherwise you will be miserable and angry all the time

Goljano, I may very well shed a few tears the day when Somaliland gets recognition, but at least I know you’ll be there crying right alongside me.

dude we are so happy they way things are rightnow and whatever happens in the future, Somaliland,s future looks bright and will get better only,
Any way let me ask you these two questions.
Honestly, do you think, your personal experiences, you and your family went through after kacaankii was ousted have something to do with us and do you think we are in any way responsible for you pain or what you are going through?

It was all very interesting until the young boy made the whole thing political by claiming sanaag is part of Somaliland. A country that doesnt exist.

Make of this what you will.

Meanwhile, an attempt was made to control prostitution through the 1948 ordinance, which gave medical authorities the legal power to detain and segregate prostitutes. 185 But the enforcement of the ordinance ran into two difficult problems, particularly in Hargeysa, where the largest number of prostitutes resided. First, the public health department lacked the proper institutions to detain and rehabilitate prostitutes. The only disciplinary institution in the protectorate capable of performing such a task was the prison for women at Berbera, but it lacked the staff and the space to rehabilitate prostitutes. Second, prostitutes lived in the hut sections of the main towns, which were not planned, and where it was "difficult for the police to maintain law and order." 186 Governor G. T. Fisher ordered in 1948 the removal and reorganization "in lines" of the hut section in Hargeysa 187 in order to extend proper policing and public health services, and to control and rehabilitate prostitutes. At first the police sought the cooperation of the residents of the area. As their cooperation was not forthcoming, the police decided to use force to remove the huts. The [End Page 70] police, however, "met with fierce opposition from women and children who stoned the Police while their men folk remained conveniently in the background." 188 Some of the police were injured in the riot, and in order "to extricate themselves . . . fired into the air. One person was hurt but nobody was killed." 189 The administration contemplated using more force to press the issue, but refrained due to a fear of yet another rioting

"1286

Berbera is mentioned for the first time by Ibn Sa’id and other Arab geographers and travellers.


1600s
Berbera replaces Saylac as the foremost
commercial and cultural centre of
Islamic influence in the Horn of
Africa. Known as the capital of the
medieval Muslim state of Adal,
Berbera remains under the authority of
the sharifs of Mocha and the
Ottoman Turks until 1875."
